Dr. Glenn J. Landry, PhD, has delivered Elite Sleep® events for YPO chapters and forums since 2021: in person and virtual, from chapter dinners of 65 to 75 members and partners to a seven-city tour. Forums have booked their own sessions inside a chapter that hosted him, and chapters have booked after hearing about the evening from a neighbouring one.
“Glenn’s Elite Sleep® program was one of the most impactful events of the year for YPO Ottawa. In the months leading up to the event, spotting an Oura ring or Fitbit on another member felt like a knowing wink between us. It sparked conversations and made the learning feel like something we were doing together.
Read Chris’s full letter
Personally, I went into the program thinking I was an elite sleeper. What I discovered was that I had simply become accustomed to being exhausted. I could fall asleep almost instantly, but that didn’t mean I was sleeping well or actually recharging. That realization inspired me to make changes that have dramatically improved my life. I’m now sharper, more energetic, and more effective.
Using the sleep data collected, we identified members who could benefit most from additional support and provided them with more extensive one-on-one coaching with Glenn. One of those members went from struggling with sleep on a regular basis to consistently waking up rested and feeling better. In their own words, the experience was life-changing.
As a YPO Learning Officer, that’s exactly the kind of impact we hope to create. Glenn didn’t just deliver a great presentation. He brought our members together, challenged how we thought about sleep, and helped create meaningful, lasting change.”
“I organized a sleep health event for my YPO Gold BC chapter, a group of 200 CEOs and their spouses, and it was a tremendous success. I wanted more than a lecture. [...] Dr. Landry didn’t just speak. He identified poor sleepers, coached them, and then shared compelling before-and-after sleep data for two of the most at-risk sleepers in our chapter during the event. [...] Even now, many attendees continue to monitor their sleep and check their sleep score daily.”
“Dr. Landry has spoken at several events we’ve hosted. He is an engaging, entertaining speaker with an important message. He leaves the audience with clear take-aways and new information they can use to improve their sleep and their healthspan, immediately. Many of our guests have found it helpful to work with Dr. Landry directly, individually. They have had success in improving the quality and quantity of their sleep, and, unsolicited, they have recommended him to their friends and family. We are all big fans of NEOS and Dr. Landry!”

Results may vary depending on the changes you’re ready to make.
Sleep is a performance strategy.
Your members already treat it like one, or want to.
Your members make decisions all day, travel across time zones, and run on adrenaline and good intentions. Sleep is the part of the plan that most often gets traded away, and it’s the part that decides how everything else works.
Dr. Landry puts it this way: “Our brain is like an engine and it produces exhaust.” Sleep is when the brain gets washed. Skip it, and the engine still runs, just not as well as it feels.
(That’s his image for it. In people, even one night without sleep slowed the brain’s clearing of waste; exactly how the rinse works is still being studied.)
Three findings worth sharing with your chapter:
-
Long days awake cost you sharpness.
After 17 to 19 hours awake, performance on some tests drops to the level seen at a blood alcohol concentration of 0.05%. Stay awake longer, and it reaches the level seen at 0.10%.1
-
Short sleep hides itself.
In a two-week laboratory study, adults limited to six hours or less in bed a night developed thinking and attention deficits comparable to going without sleep for up to two nights, and were largely unaware of it.2
-
Seven hours of actual sleep is the floor.
A consensus statement from the leading US sleep societies recommends that adults regularly get seven or more hours of actual sleep a night to support health.3
The good news: sleep is trainable. It responds to a few well-chosen changes, and the right ones differ for each member. That’s what the session is for.

Your members aren’t the audience. They’re the case study.
Most sleep talks tell a room what to do. Our measured events start with your members’ own data, in three parts.
-
Before the event
Their own numbers
- Members take a free online sleep survey. It includes a sleep-quality score and a screen for sleep apnea risk.
- Those who choose to connect their Oura Ring, Fitbit or Apple Watch get a personal sleep assessment that sets their nights against average sleepers and elite sleepers.
- Everything is opt-in, and individual results are never shared with the chapter.
-
During the event
The chapter’s sleep, live
- A de-identified chapter sleep profile appears on screen: how the room really sleeps, no names, no individual data.
- Forum-style discussion, not a lecture. Members compare notes, test ideas and ask the questions they’d ask in a room they trust.
- In our chapter programs, a few coached members share their own before-and-after results, in their own words.
-
After the event
Lasting change
- Each member who took part gets a private 45-minute results review with Dr. Glenn J. Landry, PhD.
- Every attendee gets a take-home resource, so nobody has to take notes.
- Optional: a 30-day challenge for a forum, with members keeping each other honest.
No pitch from the stage. Ever.
Members who want more ask us afterwards.
- Participation, not a lecture.
- Insight no podcast can give them.
- One thing to try that night.
- Results you can measure.

What your day chair needs to know
- Time
- The length is up to you. Dr. Glenn J. Landry, PhD, shapes every session to your chapter’s evening, and it can run over dinner. A typical evening: arrivals and dinner, the session with Q&A, then a short panel of coached members if you’re running a chapter program.
- Room
- Round tables or a layout that lets people talk to each other. A theatre layout works against the format.
- AV
- A projector or screen with an HDMI connection, and a wireless microphone. Dr. Landry brings his own laptop and slides, and the talk needs no audio playback. The one thing we ask: the largest screen the room can take, placed so every member can see it easily.
- From us, before the event
- A bio and short introduction, a promo script for your invitation, customized slides, and the member survey link.
- Travel
- Dr. Landry arrives the day before your event and leaves the day after, on direct flights. If the route needs a connection, he travels a day earlier still. Travel has never cost a chapter its event.
The scientist behind the session
Dr. Glenn J. Landry, PhD
- 30 years of experience in sleep science
- PhD (SFU) + postdoc (UBC, CIHR)
- 34 research items · 1,744 citations · h-index 19 (ResearchGate, Nov 2026)
Dr. Glenn J. Landry, PhD, is a sleep and circadian rhythms scientist with 30 years of experience in sleep science. He founded the company that has become NEOS Performance, in Delta, BC (Greater Vancouver), and works with executives and entrepreneurs across North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia. Dr. Landry has coached hundreds of people since 2015, paid and unpaid, and interpreted thousands of sleep assessments.
He is a scientist, not a physician. He doesn’t diagnose or prescribe. If a member’s data or survey points to something that needs a doctor, he says so and sends them to theirs.
What learning officers ask us
Yes. Individual results are seen only by the member and the small NEOS team that prepares them. The chapter sees a de-identified group profile, with no names and no individual data. Nothing said in the room is repeated outside it, and we build the session to fit your chapter’s own confidentiality standards. We’re happy to sign your chapter’s confidentiality agreement.
No. Not in the talk, not in the Q&A, not in the slides. The chapter buys the experience, and that’s all that happens in the room. Members who want more ask us afterwards, and any follow-up goes through you.
Yes, and we encourage it. Sleep is a two-person sport: snoring, bedroom temperature, different body clocks, and the way hormonal change affects women’s sleep. Partners can take the survey and the assessment, and they ask some of the best questions.
In-person events from $5,000 plus travel and accommodation. Virtual from $1,500. Personal sleep assessment $250 per person; chapters often subsidize. For forum sessions, retreats and multi-chapter tours, ask us. Travel is at cost and quoted up front. You’ll see a written quote with each item listed before anything is booked, and chapters near each other can share travel through a tour.
Here’s a short note you can paste into an email: “On [date], Dr. Glenn J. Landry, PhD, a sleep and circadian rhythms scientist with 30 years of experience in sleep science, will lead an Elite Sleep® session for our chapter. We’ll learn why sleep matters, why we aren’t getting enough of it, and how to begin our journey toward Elite Sleep®. Before the evening, members who choose to can share their own Oura Ring, Fitbit or Apple Watch data, privately. Dr. Landry will then show us what our chapter’s sleep really looks like, with no names and no individual data. His track record: more than 30 Elite Sleep® events for 27 YPO chapters and forums in 11 countries since 2021. No pitch from the stage. Ever.” Booking a talk without member data? Leave out the two sentences about it. Before the event we also send a bio, a short introduction, a promo script and the member survey link.
An Oura Ring, a Fitbit or an Apple Watch that records sleep stages. Apple Watch users share their data through the free Google Health app on their iPhone. Members who don’t own one can buy one or order with the group. Some chapters have arranged a group order. We’ll help.
Members connect their device through MyNEOS, our secure member app, and only if they choose to. We use the data to prepare their assessment and the de-identified chapter profile. We never share individual data with the chapter, the organizers or anyone else. Members can ask us to disconnect and delete their data at any time.
